So my neighborhood is turning into the ghetto...

My neighborhood, Hampton Glen, is on the southern side of Jacksonville. It's a nice neighborhood. Not quite "upscale" but it's pretty close. It's always been a very nice place to live- very friendly, good people, neighbors giving fudge, etc.

Anyways, over the last month, there have been 4 armed robberies in the neighborhood. While people have been out workin in the lawn or something, people go into their house. When the people go inside to see what the hell they're doing in there, the robbers pull a knife or gun or something until they have gotten everything they want, and run.

In the last week, 4 cars have been broken into, and all the valuables stolen out of them.

My mom has gone apeshit. She's paranoid about everything. She's even taped up paper on our windows that say "Don't bother... motion sensors inside, every window and door wired." (which is bullshit) Every time someone goes outside, even if its to get the mail or something, she'll start bitching if the door doesn't get locked. While I've been in the garage workin on the box, she locks the door that does into the garage.

I've also started parkin the van in the garage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sneaky.gif.7189749b3a3f769e8815b47e8ae87f88.gif

Tell me more about this "free fudge" you speak of.

 
You can get yourself a Mossberg 500 pump for as little as $200 (sometimes cheaper) its more then enough to get the job done without needing to spend $500+ on a shotgun or any gun.

Pick yourself up some #4 and #00 buckshot as well. You'll be out of the store with less then $250 spent + I doubt you'd regret it. What if someone does break in when you guys are home?...

 
you gotta do what ever it takes to keep your family safe. if it comes down to it, got gotta shoot. it's better to have a gun and never have to use it than not have one and need it. thats my thought though.
